I dropped my Stinker off this morning to be checked for a UTI and sure enough, he has crystals really bad. The vet said he'd never seen 'em so bad before.
That makes the 4th cat that I know has had crystals in my group, (one of those a female), so I am coming to the conclusion that is is the water contributing to the problem. We have a problem with a high lime content in the water and I am thinking that is the culprit causing the problem. My cats eat some Sportmix dry, but their diets are predominately wet food, with two and sometimes 3 feedings a day of wet in hopes of preventing crystals.
So now you know why I am asking the question. I have 15 catsm, (actually 20), that I need to be concerned about and have kind of avoided the thoughts of purchasing water. (Shoot, supplying their food keeps me plenty broke!)
So I will welcome all suggestions and see where they take me.
